Ethereal True Person is the foremost disciple of the Vast Void Immortal Sect! The term "disciple" here implies the seed of the Nascent Soul. That is, one with a significant chance of achieving the Nascent Soul Great Being.

Ethereal True Person hadn't yet seen a century pass. This made her an impressively youthful Golden Core True Person. For this very reason, she was highly esteemed within the vast ranks of the Immortal Sect. Thus, she was chosen as the first disciple.

Yet, the foremost disciple now harbored concerns. Her keen senses detected a looming crisis for the Vast Void Immortal Sect.

While the entire Vast Void Immortal Sect seemed to dismiss the Ancient Origin Sect, she noticed the remarkable aura of the Ancient Origin Sect. Or more precisely, the extraordinariness of the Ancient Origin Saber King. She had even conducted detailed investigations.

"The Ancient Origin Saber King, in countless battles, has seldom faced defeat. It's nothing short of a miracle. And he has only recently been crowned the Martial King. This time, the four Nascent Soul ancestors of the Vast Void Immortal Sect have rallied. Defeating the Ancient Origin Saber King will undoubtedly be challenging. Should we falter, even if the Ancient Origin Sect perishes, as long as the Ancient Origin Saber King remains lurking in the shadows, The disciples of our Vast Void Immortal Sect would be in grave peril. It seems venturing out of the Immortal Gates in the future will not be without risk."

At present, Ethereal True Person had no viable solution. Her only hope was that the four Nascent Soul ancestors would succeed in eliminating Lin Fei.

"Who would have imagined that the Vast Void Immortal Sect would possess a disciple of such foresight? Truly befitting of the title of the sect's primary disciple!"

A voice echoed suddenly.

"Who's there?"

Ethereal True Person promptly rose, her gaze darting around the cave with heightened alertness.

A resonant hum sounded.

In the ensuing moment, the figure of Distant Cloud Taoist Lord emerged. However, the state of the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's secondary Nascent Soul seemed dire. Even the Ethereal True Person could discern this.

"Ancestor, why have you returned? And your condition... it doesn't seem well. Was the journey to the Ancient Origin Sect fraught with troubles?"

Ethereal True Person offered a respectful salute, then inquired further.

"Have you not already deduced? The Ancient Origin Saber King is indeed unparalleled. We were defeated, and most profoundly at that. Of the four Nascent Soul ancestors, aside from myself, the remaining three have perished. Even I barely managed to escape, teetering on the brink of collapse. Hence, I need the assistance of you."

Upon hearing the words of the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord, the Ethereal True Person shuddered.

A look of sheer horror overtook her, "Ancestor, are you saying we were defeated? Three ancestors... they're gone? Even if you are gravely injured, how might I assist you?"

Ethereal True Person was befuddled. Yet, deep within, she was on high alert. Her astute intellect perceived that the current state of Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was dire indeed.

Moreover, there seemed to be an issue with his Nascent Soul. Ethereal True Person was aware that a Nascent Soul could possess another. Though rare for a Nascent Soul cultivator to possess another, if their life was in peril, and they chose to possess, it was hardly uncommon.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

But upon possessing another, achieving Deity Transformation became nearly unattainable. Any Nascent Soul cultivator, even with the slightest glimmer of hope would refrain from possessing another.

The guarded look in Ethereal True Person's eyes did not escape the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. A faint smile graced his lips.

"You truly are the premier disciple of the Vast Void Immortal Sect. So quickly, you've discerned my intent. If you wish to assist me, it's quite simple. Just willingly let me possess your body. Ha ha ha..."

"What?"

As the words of the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord fell, the Ethereal True Person instantly attempted to employ her escape technique. But it was too late.

Ethereal True Person stiffened. She felt as though she could no longer move as if bound by an unseen force. Despite her struggles, it was to no avail.

The Distant Cloud Taoist Lord sneered, "No need to resist. Though I am but the second Nascent Soul, and in a terribly weakened state, regardless of my condition, I am still a Nascent Soul. The chasm between Nascent Soul and Golden Core is qualitative. It's as vast as the heavens. Even if I were on the brink of death, dealing with a mere Golden Core like you would pose no issue. Thus, you might as well willingly become my vessel. Once I possess you, I can return to the Nascent Soul stage, granting your life purpose!"

With the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's words concluding, he immediately soared towards the Ethereal True Person. The second Nascent Soul even directly entered the Ethereal True Person's body.

"No..."

A terrified scream escaped Ethereal True Person. She tried resisting with her will, but it was futile. The gap was too significant. Strong will alone couldn't bridge it.

Thus, as the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's Nascent Soul entered the Ethereal True Person's body, it signified her demise. Even her consciousness was utterly erased.

Time slowly ticked by.

"Swish."

After a long while, "Ethereal True Person" opened her eyes. Yet, at that moment, the "Ethereal True Person" had essentially transformed into the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. He had succeeded in his possession.

"Such a body brimming with untapped potential. Yet, merely having a Golden Core makes it weak. Though I've successfully possessed this form, to transform a Nascent Soul requires thorough preparation; there's no room for carelessness," murmured the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord.

Success in possession of this body didn't guarantee a successful transformation to the Golden Core. This only granted him some experience. Yet, transitioning to a Golden Core often depended on the level of the Golden Core and accumulated resources.

Without enough accumulation, even a Nascent Soul cultivator's possession wouldn't make a difference. A successful transformation wouldn't be feasible.

Thus, for Distant Cloud Taoist Lord's possession this time, if he desired to transform into a Nascent Soul, he still needed a lengthy duration.

To practice slowly, hoping to transform once again someday. However, no matter how many times he transforms, his lifespan would always be limited to that of the former Nascent Soul.

After all, his consciousness was attached to the previous second Nascent Soul. This was an aspect that could never be elevated again. Only by achieving Deity Transformation could one enhance their lifespan.

"Hmph, though I cannot increase my lifespan after possession, Once I re-transform into a Nascent Soul, I can cultivate the Nascent Soul Magic Avatar anew. When that time comes, I will surely master an even more formidable Magic Avatar. I will obliterate the Ancient Origin Sect and decapitate Lin Fei!"

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord hadn't forgotten his vow for revenge. This time, he had been forced to detonate his Nascent Soul, all because of Lin Fei's actions.

Given even the slightest chance, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord would never spare Lin Fei. Just as the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord was plotting his vengeance against Lin Fei and the Ancient Origin Sect in the future, he sharply lifted his head.

"Buzz."

An all too familiar aura instantly enveloped the entire Vast Void Immortal Sect.

"Is this... the Saber World? Has Lin Fei arrived? Is Lin Fei seeking to exterminate and tread upon my Vast Void Immortal Sect? How could he be so swift?"

Distant Cloud Taoist Lord could hardly believe his own eyes. He had presumed that even if Lin Fei intended to destroy the Vast Void Immortal Sect, he would surely wait some time.

By then, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord would have long departed the Vast Void Immortal Sect. But in all his calculations, he hadn't anticipated Lin Fei to be so "impatient" and assail the Vast Void Immortal Sect.

"Flee! At any cost, I must escape!"

Urgency consumed the heart of the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord. He was well aware that being enveloped by the Saber World meant dire prospects for the entire Vast Void Immortal Sect. How could escape be easy?

"Whoosh."

The next moment, the Distant Cloud Taoist Lord instantly soared out of his cave abode.
